The history of the Sudanese war. The princes and Arnauts with whom the Mamluks were defeated and their power broken. The second was the eradication of the Mamluk sheikhs, whose remnants still ruled over Dengeil in Sudan. The third was the seizure of the gold mine in Sennar, whose news had spread to all countries, and much fabricated talk and made-up stories circulated about it, especially in the city of Cairo. The fourth was the expansion of his army with men from Sudan, and the Sudanese at that time had a far-reaching reputation and fame for bravery and courage. Therefore, when the opportunity arose, he sent a large army to Sudan to aid the son of Adlan and restore him to his kingdom in Sennar after he had been deposed. He appointed his son Ismail Pasha to lead that army, and he attacked Sudan with it and fought the Mamluks in Dengeil, defeating them and scattering their forces from there. He conquered Nubia after his victory at Korgi in November 1820. Then he marched on Khartoum and encamped his army at a strategically located center between the Blue Nile and the White Nile, fortifying it until it became an impregnable center. He remained there until 1822. Then he returned to Cairo and on his way stopped at Shandi, located between Khartoum and Berber, at its governor, whose name was Malik al-Nimr. He demanded that he pay him a boatload of gold and one hundred slaves. Malik al-Nimr outwardly agreed to this but inwardly plotted evil. He tricked him by intoxicating his war chiefs and entourage and waited until they fell into a deep sleep. Then he ordered his men, who surrounded the house from all sides and set it on fire. It burned, and the fire consumed everyone inside, including Ismail Pasha. He thought he had gotten rid of them with his cunning and good planning, but he soon saw the son-in-law of the deceased, Muhammad Bey Dafardar of Kordofan, who was generous and a man of action, and he killed him.
